- No, he posted a message he got from a BBS that had 'Do not distribute' slapped
- all over it. This is like downloading a game whose initial screen comes up
- and says '(C) 199X by XXXX Development, do not distribute' (anyone seen
- Wolfenstein 3D?), and thinking it's OK to give to your friends because you
- got it from a BBS. Not only should he be nailed, but so should the BBS.
